Hello!
I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.
Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

Similar experiences. Had a couple times where interviews went great, I was a perfect fit, only to be told afterward that they were looking for more years’ experience for the role. You couldn’t have filtered me out from the get go if that was the case?
Same experience, though in my case they said they wanted someone who had been a manager for longer - something that we had talked about in literally every single interview, including the initial recruiter call. Thanks for wasting 10 hours of my life…
I think they do this when you are a fit but they hired someone else as a way to give feedback that’s ultimately more confusing than helpful.
Yeah like an internal promotion or something. Maybe one of the people under the role spoke up and wanted it.
I see so many job listings that are so freaking detailed and prescriptive that you’re like… the only person that can apparently ever possibly be able-minded and qualified enough to figure out this oh-so-precious gig is whoever just left it.
I did two hours of phone interviews and was then flown out of state to their location to spend an entire day interviewing. Met with the team. Passed background checks. The whole 9 yards. The hiring manager (who I would have reported to) even said I got the job and that it was just a matter of time before it became official. A week went by and no offer letter. Then another. She kept telling me to hold on, it was just a paperwork issue. She was pulling no punches. I had the job. So I told my landlord that I was going to have to break my lease. Told all of my friends I was moving. Still getting reassurances from the manger, but no offer letter or good explanation as to what was taking so long after a month. I finally took another job. Looked like it would have been a good gig, but I can't imagine working for anyone that screwed up.
Wow that is even worse. I’ve heard of that happening.
I had the EXACT experience. 6 interviews. Repeatedly tried to mention the specific experience to demonstrate my fit for the role, but nobody was interested to talk about it.
Any interviews longer than 4 hours should be time you can invoice agencies for when you don’t get the gig IF - and only if - the reason for not getting hired is something they should have screened from the beginning.
Bet we’d all get a lot more honest feedback…!
Omg I love this idea. That will be $600 please.
But seriously when I hire, I pick a few people who can do the job, or have the right experience. Then I meet with them, if I approve I send them to the PM or whoever needs to work with them but it’s all a vibe check and to weed out weirdos.
I’m 55 and work in a Creative services business that constantly has to submit our bids for work to ad agencies - so in essence we are Job interviewing every day. After 3 days of back and forth with one agency my producer had submitted 8 proposals for a -4K job- the normal cost is 9k. After several rounds we were told the job went to an offshore vendor who could do it cheaper. My advice is to you - get use to use to it! Do great work and brand yourself as an A- list creative where your reputation opens doors on your own terms.
That’s an excellent point. I always forget my own time has value.
